Arcane Academy: The Divine Extraction Legacy

Chapter 330 Examination ( 2 )

Vale expected to be called first and he was already prepared to go up.

However, to his surprise, Professor Stella shifted her gaze from him and called for Neil Sommerhalder instead!

”Haha… As expected…” Neil laughed as he went to the stage.

He was laughing since the students in other classes thought that he was the best student in Class 2. As he was the first one to be called, they all paid attention to him, and he liked the feeling of being in the limelight.

Vale was stunned for a moment, but after understanding what was going on, he simply chuckled and watched Neil.

In any case, he still hadnʼt decided which of his Dark Spells he should use. To be exact, he had two options and he was still unsure which one he should use to show off in front of these students and professors.

”Professor Stella was having fun… She might arrange for you to be the last examiner, Vale.” Chad muttered as he also realized what the professor was thinking.

”Well, sheʼs saving the best for last…” Aubrey teased…

”I think that Neil was really working hard… He might have a better Spell Mastery than me.” Vale calmly said but even Lisa scoffed at him after hearing this.

”Thatʼs impossible. I heard that Neil had his soul drained after he used a Forbidden Spell…” Lisa softly muttered.

”Right, a few of his Spell Models were even destroyed in the process. I wonder why he did that.” Chad added.

”Didnʼt you hear that he was accusing Vale that he had done that to him? Oh… Vale, since youʼre here, can you tell us now if it was really you?” Aubrey asked with a teasing smile. She certainly doesnʼt think that it was Valeʼs doing so she was just laughing it off.

ʼI extracted his Energy Points and took one Spell Model… However, it seemed like it has been exaggerated into soul-draining and multiple Spell Models being destroyed.ʼ Vale mused as he shook his head at Aubreyʼs question.

The only Spell he took from Neil was the Moonlight Curse.

Anyway, he shifted his gaze to Neil…

His Darkness Manipulation Spell was certainly good. Although it wasnʼt better than Leo and Lunaʼs performance, it was still eye-catching. Using this Spell, he expanded his shadow and turned it into a giant. It covered not only the whole stage but also the walls behind him.

No other students have than something similar so it caught everyoneʼs attention.

The others even started hesitating about what they should do later.

”Should I also create something similar? I thought of making a cape, but I donʼt think I could do it better than the others. Perhaps I should try copying this guy instead?”

”Heh… Expanding the shadow seemed easy from your perspective, but thatʼs more difficult than making a cape or a sword. Just stick to your plan.”

”Thatʼs true… Just do what youʼre used to. If you donʼt perform well, youʼll get a lower grade, and those 2 Contribution Points will be gone.”

”Hmph! Even if I do my best. I donʼt think Iʼll get that 2 Contribution Points anyway…”

”Iʼm thinking the same thing. Might as well try something incredible to get a higher chance of being selected.”

Vale heard their words, but he didnʼt think too much of it.

He was too focused on what the giant shadow could do… He expected it to do something incredible than just being huge, but to his dismay, after it expanded, Neil simply canceled the Spell.

ʼThatʼs it?ʼ Vale felt a bit disappointed.

In the end, it was just a huge empty humanoid shadow that could be used to darken the surroundings. Of course, the others didnʼt feel it was strange since controlling such a huge shadow was also a huge burden to the Arcanist.

After this, Neil continued to use his second Spell.

Perhaps, he would use his Moonlight Curse if he still had that Spell since it had an excellent special effect once it was activated. However, since he no longer possesses the Spell, he had to cast a different one.

It was Rotting Chains!

Six chains made of dark fluid appeared from the ground… The chains were thick and oozing with the power of corruption.

”Awesome!”

”What a great Spell!”

Reid and Junius praised their friend as soon as they saw the terrifying Spell manifesting on the stage!

”Mhmm… Itʼs at the peak of Elementary Realm. Not bad.” Aubrey gently nodded. This is already very impressive since theyʼre only in their second year.

The Sommerhalder family was indeed right to send Neil to the Dark Arts Academy instead of the Rune Arts Academy.

Neil went off the stage with his chest held up high as he felt satisfied with his performance. Well, many others had also clapped for him after seeing his Rotting Chains.

Unfortunately for him, Warren Lawstein was the next student who was called out, so Neilʼs performance was immediately forgotten.

Warren had used his Darkness Manipulation Spell to create a Full-Body Armor!

The Armor wasnʼt intricately designed, but it was certainly a sight to behold. His performance was probably better than Leo and Luna!

As for the second Spell he used, it was a Spirit Hand that could move quickly within the limits of his magic zone. It was quite underwhelming, but it was a good performance nonetheless.

Chad Bulmung followed next, and he didnʼt even try that hard. He only played around with the examination as if the result didnʼt matter to him.

”Double Sword!” Chad shouted as two swords made of Darkness appeared. He waved it a few times before feeling satisfied and canceling the Darkness Manipulation Spell.

His second Spell was only a Dark Mist Spell, which he was really adept on. It was the same Spell he used when he fought against the Evil Creature in Serenity Hall.

Again, his performance was quite average. Although he should be able to do better, he seemed to be holding back.

ʼIs he injured? Perhaps, he doesnʼt like to stand out?ʼ Vale mused.

***

Several more students followed until only five students were left for Class 2.

That would be Dalton Stranway, Lisa Grayback, Aubrey Hall, Leonore Roland, and Vale Chambers.
